Imported pistachios from Iran: What you need to know

• Pistachios have a long shelf life, so products purchased months ago may still be in your home.
• Check CFIA's recall listings to see if your product is affected.
  • Compare product details (brand, product name and size, UPC and codes) with recall notices.
• Do not consume recalled pistachios or pistachio-containing products or use them in cooking or baking—heat may not kill Salmonella in pistachios.
• Throw out or return recalled products to the place of purchase.
• If you have pistachio products that are not part of a recall:
  • Check the label for the country of origin. Pistachios from countries other than Iran are not affected.
  • It's safest to avoid the product if the country of origin can't be confirmed.
  • It's safest to avoid the product if they are from Iran.
• Not all pistachio-containing products have labels indicating where each ingredient comes from. Some ingredients may come from countries other than where the product was made.
